Ah, but tubeless ones are a different matter. I gave up with them on my Orbea, with carbon Mavic rims. Tried everything (except the string trick), but couldn’t get them on, so flogged them to a mate and went back to tubed versions.

Hmm…I use SKS mudguards. They’ve got two stays on either side at the front, and still buzz the tyre side wall occasionally. I don’t hear it when it does, but there’s a wear strip where the fixing for the stay is.

Just fitted a new GP5000 on front rim, put the old front one on the back and installed the TPU tubes…took 10 minutes, no faff😆 Now nervously wondering if the TPU’s live up to the decent reviews😬

Well, nope😆 Allegedly, if you feed a piece of (strong) string through the rim channel, under the tyre, it’s quite effective for then feeding the tyre bead over the edge of the rim👍

A piece of string is, apparently, a nifty tool to get them on🤓

Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.

On the basis the victim was stationary, this further destroys the argument that she should’ve been wearing a helmet, because it should also apply to everyone on foot walking on/near roads in Center Parcs is that logic is applied…FFS🤦🏻‍♂️

FFS…PPE is the last line of defence. Perhaps instead of victim blaming, the focus should be on how to prevent people driving vehicles from KSI’ing other road users.

This is good to hear. I walked along the full length of Oxford St last week and it was hard work with the sheer amount of pedestrians crammed on the pavements. It’ll transform it for the better👍

When I said they were Iranians arriving in small boats, I meant British nationals living in London.

Ventured out of our new office to hunt for some lunch earlier…Filling station Budgens offering as best I could find. Still, diverted to go and have a look at the rattle can artwork under the A329M, which was nice😆👍

"Dear Diary, I'm still furious about Burnham's plan to tackle disinformation. Doesn't he know that one man's disinformation is another man's essential stream of bollocks and lies to spread hatred and division in order to fuel his rise to power?"
